This resource makes a nice array of HEX layout, leaving about 10 available sprites for other things...
.... feel free to use if you want :)
There are now two layouts available...
HEX
HEX-alt
All hex sprites are numbered in order, Sprite#1 being the top left hex
XTRA version demos code that links one HEX to a nearby HEX
PLUS version has a variable SNUG at top
SNUG=0 .... Hex with spaces
SNUG=1 .... Hex snug together, no spaces

+1 for the non 8x8 blocky look.

Do you mean the black space between them?...
The hex cells can be redesigned... for example make them solid green for a field, then add buildings or trees or whatever... in this case one will need the black borders to delineate the different areas..
This is an available resource for everyone.. feel free to rework or remix :)

No I was talking about the fact that, almost all programs made by the community use 8x8 pixels art style. On my breakout clone I was using 8x12, a more challenging and eyes pleased IMHO.

ok, "almost" is too much.

Ah, yes.... i agree...
But the limitations of lowesNX cannot use more than 64 sprites, so for a smaller hex layout, i like my raster trick best for smaller cell layouts...

This example offers an easier method if filling the screen with a small cell hex layout...

The only trick is the math to make board play as it looks... i can do the math, its just another layer of bother...
... for example, consider some kind of card solitaire played on this board ;)
